Description: FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a silver halide photographic light-sensitive material which has a high-sensitivity and little dye stain, and which is excellent in sharpness as well as in aging stability, and more particularly to a silver halide photographic light-sensitive material for medical radiographic use. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION With regard to the processing of silver halide photographic light-sensitive materials, there has lately been a growing demand for shortening the processing time and reducing the discharge of waste processing solutions. In the medical field, for example, there has been a sharply increasing number of medical examinations, including general diagnoses and treatments, attributed to the recently widespread regular medical checkups and complete physical examinations anyone can undergo hospital in, and therefore the number of X-ray films to be radiographed and processed vastly increases, thus leading to a growing demand for the realization of techniques for super-rapidly processing radiographed films and for reducing the amount of waste processing solutions discharged at the time of the processing. In order to speed up the processing, it is necessary to shorten each of the developing, fixing, washing and drying periods of time, but it results in the increase in the load in each processing step. For example, if the developing time is merely shortened, in the case of a conventional light-sensitive material, it causes the image density to lower, resulting in a drop in sensitivity and in the deterioration of image gradation. Where the fixing time is shortened, incomplete fixation of the silver halide can be achieved to cause the resulting image quality to be degraded. Further, the processing time shortening makes the sensitizing dye's elution incomplete in each of the developing, fixing and washing steps to thus cause the resulting image to be degraded with a residual dye stain. Accordingly, the solution to the above problems requires the speedup of the developing and fixing rates, the reduction in the amount of sensitizing dyes, and the acceleration of the elution and/or decoloration of the sensitizing dye. On the other hand, the reduction in the discharge amount of waste processing solutions needs to make each processing solution less exhaustible and/or less replenishable, but is accompanied with the same problems as in the above speedup case. To solve the above problems, EP0506,584, Japanese Patent Publication Open to Public Inspection (hereinafter abbreviated to JP O.P.I.) Nos. 88293/1993 and 93975/1993 disclose techniques which use benzimidazolocarboxycyanines well decolorable as spectral-sensitizing dyes. Also, JP O.P.I. No. 61148/1993 discloses techniques in which oxacarbocyanines and benzimidazolocarboxycyanines as spectral-sensitizing dyes are used together in a specific proportion to a silver halide emulsion having an iodide content of not more than 1 mol%, and the emulsion is further chemically sensitized with a selenium compound and/or a tellurium compound. However, the use of these disclosed techniques alone, although effective in residual dye stain improvement, is still not sufficient to satisfy the recent demands for improvement of various photographic characteristics, particularly to increasing the sensitivity. Further, the above techniques have the disadvantage that the light-sensitive material, when stored in an atmosphere at a high humidity and a high temperature, shows a significant sensitivity drop. Incidentally, there have recently been disclosed many higher-speed/higher-quality-image-achieving techniques using tabular silver halide grains, which are described in JP O.P.I. Nos. 111935/1983, 111936/1983, 111937/1983, 113927/1983 and 99433/1984. Further, JP O.P.I. No. 92942/1988 discloses a technique providing a high silver iodide content core inside the tabular silver halide grain, and JP O.P.I. No. 151618/1988 discloses a technique using hexagonal tabular silver halide grains for obtaining an increased sensitivity. In addition to the above, JP O.P.I. Nos. 106746/1988, 183644/1989 and 279237/1989 disclose techniques pertaining to the composition distributions of tabular silver halide grains. In regard to the crystal structure of the tabular silver halide grain, some techniques about the configuration of grains and parallel twin planes are disclosed; for example, JP O.P.I. No. 131541/1989 discloses a technique using circular tabular grains for improving the photographic speed and graininess. JP O.P.I. No. 163451/1988 discloses a technique using a tabular silver halide grain having two or more parallel twin planes in which the ratio of (b) to (a) equals 5 or more, wherein (a) represents the distance between the twin planes in the tabular silver halide grain and (b) represents the thickness of the grain, the technique being effective in improving both sensitivity and graininess. The publication describes a technique of raising the inter-grain uniformity of the distance between the twin planes to thereby increase the sensitivity and improve the graininess. WO91/18320 discloses a technique of using a tabular silver halide grain in which the distance between its twin planes is less than 0.012µm, and describes that a high sensitivity can be achieved. EP515894A1 describes that raising the sensitivity can be attained by making less than 75% the (111) face proportion to the edge plane of a tabular silver halide grain of which the tabular property defined by (grain diameter)/(grain thickness) 2 is 25 or above. On the other hand, there are also disclosed many techniques for improving tabular silver halide grains by removing their shortcomings. JP O.P.I. No. 142439/1991 discloses a technique of improving the storage stability in a moist ambience of an emulsion of silver halide grains comprising tabular grains each having an aspect ratio of 3 or more and also having (111) and (100) faces. The tabular silver halide grain, since its surface area is larger in the same volume than those of silver halide regular crystal grains such as hexahedral and octahedral grains, makes it possible to increase the adsorption amount of a sensitizing dye to its grain surface, and therefore is considered to have the advantage that it is easy to increase its sensitivity and improve its sharpness due to reduction in scattering light. In fact, however, even when a sensitizing dye in an increased amount in proportion to the surface area of the tabular grain is used, the sensitivity of the grain can not become as high as expected, and in addition, as processing is speeded up, the shortcomings of the tabular grain appear, such as color stain due to the residual dye and degradation of the image quality. In the case where various water-insoluble photographic additives are introduced into a silver halide emulsion, a method of adding to the silver halide emulsion a solution of such photographic additives dissolved in an organic solvent such as methanol is prevailing. Instead of such a conventional method, an attempt also is made to disperse photographic additives in the presence of a wetting agent and a dispersant without using any organic solvent to prepare an aqueous solution thereof, and the obtained aqueous additives dispersion is added to the silver halide emulsion. Namely, JP O.P.I. No. 110012/1977 describes a method in which a sensitizer is pulverized in the presence of a dispersant (surfactant) providing a certain surface tension in an aqueous phase, and the obtained aqueous dispersion is dehydrated to be dried, and then the product, either as it is or after being dispersed in an aqueous gelatin solution, is added to the silver halide emulsion. JP O.P.I. No. 102733/1978 describes that a uniform mixture (pasty mixture) of a photographic particulate additive, a dispersant such as sorbitol and a protective colloid such as gelatin is prepared to be made in noodle form and then dried in hot air to thereby provide a granulated product, which is then added to a photographic aqueous colloidal composition for coating. U.S. Patent No. 4,006,025 describes a method in which a spectral-sensitizing dye is mixed with water to be made in slurry form, and then uniformly dispersed at a temperature raised to 40-50°C in the presence of a surfactant into water, and the dispersion is added to the silver halide emulsion. These methods are ones for adding photographic additives such as spectral-sensitizing dyes in an aqueous phase without using any organic solvents. However, they have the following problems in practical use. That is, since the aqueous dispersion is pulverized according to a freeze-drying process, and the time required for the adsorption of additives such as spectral sensitizers onto the silver halide grain is prolonged, so that a desired photographic sensitivity can not be obtained within a short spectral and chemical sensitizations period of time, and the silver halide emulsion, when coated, produces precipitates that tend to cause a coating defect. In addition, the use of a wetting agent or a dispersant for dispersing the additives is liable to destroy the emulsified substance present in the silver halide emulsion; to increase coating troubles in the high-speed coating of the silver halide emulsion; or to bring about quality problems such as the poor adhesion of the resulting silver halide photographic light-sensitive material product. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is a first object of the present invention to provide a light-sensitive silver halide emulsion comprising tabular silver halide grains having a high sensitivity and excellent storage stability and leaving little or no residual dye stain after being processed. It is a second object of the invention to provide a silver halide photographic light-sensitive material having a high sensitivity and being capable of forming a photographic image with little or no residual dye stain, excellent in image sharpness as well as in storage stability.

Sturmer, 'Heterocyclic Compounds Special Topics in Heterocyclic Chemistry' VIII, IV, pp.482-515, John Wiley & Sons Co. (New York London) 1977. The above Formulae I and II each merely represent one of the possible resonance structures and under extreme conditions, positive charges may come into the symmetrical nitrogen atoms. Such structures are included. The technique to combinedly use the two different-type spectral-sensitizing dyes is useful for a light-sensitive material that requires a sensitivity to green light; particularly, remarkably effective in its application to X-ray recording materials utilizing fluorescent screens that emit green light for increasing the recording sensitivity to X-rays; especially effective in radiographic light-sensitive materials for medical use. In the application to a medical X-ray light-sensitive material utilizing a fluorescent screen emitting green light, there may be used at least either one of the spectral-sensitizing dye of Formula I and that of Formula II, but it is preferred to use them in combination to make their adsorption to the silver halide grain so as to get the grain, when its reflection spectrum is measured, to form J-band in the same wavelength region as that of the green light from the fluorescent screen; that is, it is preferred to normally select spectral-sensitizing dyes to be combined so as to form a J-band within the 520nm-560nm wavelength region. The adding amount of the spectral-sensitizing dyes of Formulae I and II, although dependent upon the type of the dye used and the silver halide's grain structure, composition, ripening conditions, purposes, uses, etc., is preferably determined so that their monomolecular layer covering rate on the surface of each individual light-sensitive grain in the silver halide emulsion is not less than 40% and not more than 90%, and more preferably from 50% to 80%. In the material of the invention, the monomolecular layer covering rate is determined as an amount relative to the saturated adsorption amount when an adsorption isothermal line is prepared at 50°C set at the covering rate 100%. The appropriate amount of the dye per mol of silver halide, varies according to the overall area of the silver halide grains in the emulsion, and is preferably less than 600mg, and more preferably not more than 450mg. In the material of the invention, the spectral-sensitizing dye is preferably added in the form of a solid particulate dispersion; i.e., preferably added in the form of a solid particulate dispersion substantially slightly-soluble in water, which has been prepared by dispersing at least one of the spectral-sensitizing dyes used into an aqueous medium in which any organic solvent and/or any surfactant are substantially not present. Herein, a reference that any organic solvent and/or any surfactant are substantially not present implies water containing 10 -4 mol/liter or less of an organic solvent or surfactant, or impurities in a slight amount to such an extent not to adversely affect the silver halide emulsion, and more preferably deionized or distilled water. The solubility of the spectral sensitizer in water is from 2x10 -4 to 4x10 -2 mol/liter, and more preferably from 1x10 -3 to 4x10 -2 mol/liter. The solubility of the spectral-sensitizing dye in water was measured according to the following manner: Thirty milliliters of deionized water was put in a 50 ml Erlenmeyer flask, and this, after adding thereto the sensitizer in an amount visually found more than soluble, was stirred by a magnetic stirrer for 10 minutes with its temperature being kept at 27°C in a thermostat. The suspension was filtered off with a Filter No.2, produced by Toyo Corp., and the filtrate was properly diluted to be subjected to absorptiometry with use of a spectrophotometer U-3410, manufactured by Hitachi Ltd. Then, from the measurement results the concentration was found in accordance with the Lambert-Beer's law, and further the solubility of the sensitizing dye was determined therefrom. D = εlc wherein D: absorbance, ε: molar absorption coefficient, l: the length of cell for absorptiometry, and c: concentration (mol/-liter). The addition of the spectral-sensitizing dye may be made during the chemical ripening process, and preferably may be at the start of the chemical ripening. Also, by carrying out the addition of it during the course from the silver halide nucleus-formation until the end of its desalting process, a high-sensitivity silver halide emulsion excellent in the spectral sensitization efficiency can be obtained. Further, at an arbitrary point of time during the course after completion of the desalting process through the chemical ripening process up to right before the emulsion coating time there may be additionally added a different spectral sensitizer or the same spectral sensitizer as was added in the preceding process (the nucleus formation-to-desalting completion process). The spectral-sensitizing dye may be used in combination with other spectral-sensitizing dyes such as cyanine dyes, merocyanine dyes, complex cyanine dyes, complex merocyanine dyes, holopolar cyanine dyes, hemicyanine dyes, styryl dyes and hemioxonol dyes. The most preferred among these dyes are cyanine dyes, merocyanine dyes and complex merocyanine dyes. These dyes may be ones having any nuclei generally utilized which include for example, pyrroline nucleus, oxazoline nucleus, thiazoline nucleus, pyrrole nucleus, oxazole nucleus, thiazole nucleus, selenazole nucleus, imidazole nucleus, tetrazole nucleus, pyrridine nucleus, and the like. Other nuclei formed by the fusion of the above nuclei with aliphatic hydrocarbon rings, such as indolenine nucleus, benzindolenine nucleus, indole nucleus, benzoxazole nucleus, naphthooxazole nucleus, benaothiazole nucleus, naphthothiazole nucleus, benzoselenazole nucleus, benzimidazole nucleus, quinoline nucleus and the like may also be applied. These nuclei may be substituted onto carbon atoms. To the merocyanine dye or complex merocyanine dye may be applied as a ketomethine structure-having a 5- or 6-member heterocyclic nucleus such as pyrazoline-5-one nucleus, thiohydantoin nucleus, 2-thiooxazolidine-2,4-dione nucleus, thiazoline-2,4-dione nucleus, rhodanine nucleus or thiobarbituric acid nucleus. These nuclei are described in German Patent No. 929,080; U.S. Patent Nos. 2,231,658, 2,493,748, 2,503,776, 2,519,001, 2,912,329, 3,655,394, 3,656,959, 3,672,897 and 3,649,217; British Patent No. 1,242,588; and JP E.P. No. 14030/1969. Together with these spectral-sensitizing dyes there may be incorporated into the emulsion layer a dye which has no spectral sensitization effect or a substance which does not substantially absorb visible light but shows a supersensitization effect. The selenium sensitizer which may be used for chemical sensitization includes a large variety of selenium compounds, which are described in U.S. Patent Nos. 1,574,944, 1,602,592 and 1,623,499; and JP O.P.I. Nos. 150046/1985, 25832/1992, 109240/1992 and 147250/1992.

Nos. 180536/1984, 185330/1984, 181337/-1984, 187338/1984, 192241/1984, 150046/1985, 151637/1985, 246738/1986, 4221/1991, 24537/1991, 111838/1991, 116132/1991, 148648/1991, 237450/1991, 16838/1992, 25832/1992, 32831/1992, 96059/1992, 109240/1992, 140738/1992, 140739/1992, 147250/1992, 149437/1992, 184331/1992, 190225/1992, 191729/1992 and 195035/-1992; British Patent Nos. 255,846 and 861,984; and H.E. Spencer, the Journal of Photographic Science, vol.31, pp.158-169 (1983). The amount of the selenium sensitizer to be used depends on the compound, the silver halide grains and chemical sensitization conditions, but is normally from 10 -8 to 10- 4 mol per mol of silver halide. The incorporation of the selenium sensitizer into the emulsion may be carried out by any one of appropriate methods according to the nature of the selenium-compound used, such as by adding it in the form of a solution in water or in a single organic solvent or a mixture of organic solvents such as methanol and ethanol; by adding it in the form of a previously prepared mixture with an aqueous gelatin solution; or by adding it in the form of an emulsified dispersion with an organic solvent-soluble polymer, the method disclosed in JP O.P.I. No. 140739/1992. The chemical ripening temperature in the case of using the selenium sensitizer is preferably in the range of from 40 to 90°C, and more preferably from 45°C to 80°C, and pH and pAg in the process are preferably from 4 to 9 and from 6 to 9.5, respectively. The tellurium sensitizer used in the chemical sensitization and the method for the sensitization with the same are disclosed in U.S. Patent Nos. 1,623,499, 3,320,069, 3,772,031, 3,531,289 and 3,655,394; British Patent Nos. 235,211, 1,121,496, 1,295,462 and 1,396,696; Canadian Patent No. 800,958; and JP O.P.I. Nos. 204640/1992 and 333043/1992. Useful examples of the tellurium sensitizer include telluroureas such as N,N-dimethyl-tellurourea, tetramethyltellurourea, N-carboxyethyl-N,N'-dimethyl-tellurourea, N,N'-di-methyl-N'-phenyl-tellurourea; phosphinetellurides such as tri-butylphosphinetellurides, tricyclohexylphosphinetelluride, tri-isopropylphosphinetelluride, butyl-diisopropylphosphinetelluride, dibutylphenylphosphinetelluride; telluroamides such as telluroacetamide, N,N-dimethyltellurobenzamide; telluroketones, telluroesters, isotellurocyanates, and the like. Techniques for using these tellurium sensitizers follow those for the foregoing selenium sensitizers. In the material of the invention, it is preferred to use a reduction sensitizer in combination. The reduction sensitizer is preferably added in the course of growing the silver halide grain. The method of adding the reduction sensitizer during the grain growth includes not only a method of adding the sensitizer to the grain while its growth is going on but also a method of adding it to the grain while its growth is suspended and then resuming the growth of the reduction-sensitized silver halide grain. The silver halide grain may be sensitized with a selenium compound and a tellurium compound, but can also be sensitized further with a sulfur compound or a noble-metallic salt such as a gold salt. Reduction sensitization may of course be used, and furthermore, the sensitization may be carried out by combinedly using these sensitization methods. As a suitable sulfur sensitizer there may be used those as described in U.S. Patent Nos. 1,574,944, 2,410,689, 2,278,947, 2,728,668, 3,501,313 and 3,656,955; West German Patent (OLS) No. 1,422,869; and JP O.P.I. Nos. 24937/-1981 and 45016/1980, and useful examples of the sulfur sensitizer include thiourea derivatives such as 1,3-diphenylthiourea, triethylthiourea, 1-ethyl-3-(2-thiazolyl)thiourea; rhodanine derivatives, dithiacarbamic acids, polysulfide organic compounds, and sulfur element. The sulfur element is preferably α-sulfur belonging to the rhombic system. The gold sensitizer includes chloroauric acid, gold thiosulfate, gold thiocyanate, thioureas, rhodanines, and gold complexes with various other compounds. The using amount of the sulfur sensitizer or gold sensitizer, although different according to the type of the silver halide emulsion used, the kind of the compound used, the ripening conditions applied, etc., is preferably from 1x10 -4 mol to 1x10 -9 mol, and more preferably from 1x10 -5 mol to 1x10 -8 mol per mol of silver halide. The sulfur sensitizer or gold sensitizer may be added either in the form of a solution in water, alcohol or other inorganic or organic solvent or in the form of an emulsified dispersion dispersed by use of a water-insoluble solvent or a medium such as gelatin. The sulfur sensitization and gold sensitization of the silver halide may be conducted either simultaneously or separately stepwise. In the latter case, good results can be obtained when the gold sensitization is conducted after nearly completion of or in the midst of the sulfur sensitization. The reduction sensitization is conducted by adding a reducing agent and/or a water-soluble silver salt during the growth of the silver halide grains of the silver halide emulsion. Useful examples of the reducing agent include thiourea dioxide, ascorbic acid and derivatives thereof. Other preferred examples of the reducing agent include polyamines such as hydrazine and diethylenetriamine; dimethylamine boranes, sulfites, and the like. The adding amount of the reducing agent is preferably changed according to the type of the reducing agent used, the grain diameter, composition and crystal habit of the silver halide grains, and ambient conditions such as the temperature, pH and pAg of the reaction system, and the like; for example, in the case of thiourea dioxide, when used in an amount of about 0.01 to 2 mg per mol of silver as a standard, satisfactory results can be obtained, while in ascorbic acid, its preferable amount is about 50 mg to 2 g per mol of silver halide. The reduction sensitization is conducted preferably for 10 to 200 minutes at a temperature of about 40 to 70°C, pH of about 5 to 11, and pAg of about 1 to 10, wherein the pAg value is logarithmic reciprocal of Ag+ ion concentration. The water-soluble silver salt is preferably silver nitrate. By the addition of the water-soluble silver salt, the silver halide is subjected to silver ripening, a kind of the reduction sensitization technique. pAg in the silver ripening is preferably 1 to 6, more preferably 2 to 4. Conditions of temperature, pH and time are preferably in the same ranges as defined for the above reduction sensitization. As the stabilizer for the silver halide photographic emulsion containing the reduction-sensitized silver halide grains there may be used general stabilizers hereinafter described, but these stabilizers can often provide good results when used in combination with appropriate ones of the antioxidants disclosed in JP O.P.I. No. 82831/1982 and/or the thiosulfones described in V.S. Gahler, Zeitshrift fur wissenschaftliche Photographic Bd.63, 133 (1969) and JP O.P.I. No. 1019/1979. The addition of these compounds may be conducted at any point of time during the emulsion manufacturing process between the crystal growth and the preparation step immediately before the emulsion coating. As the silver halide grain useful in the silver halide emulsion, grains of silver halide such as silver iodobromide, silver iodochloride or silver chloroiodobromide and the like may be used discretionarily. The most preferred are silver iodobromide and silver chloroiodobromide. The silver halide grain suitably usable in the material of the invention is explained. The tabular silver halide grain used in the material of the invention is classified as a twin crystal. The twin crystal is a silver halide crystal having one or more twin planes with a single grain. The classification of twin crystal configurations is described in detail in Klein and Moisar, Photographisches Korrespondenz, vol.99, p.99; vol.100, p.57. The tabular silver halide grain used in the material of the invention is one having mainly an even number of parallel twin planes; these twin planes may or may not be parallel with one another, but preferably one having two twin planes. In the tabular silver halide grains used in the material of the invention, the average value (average aspect ratio) of their grain diameter/thickness ratios (aspect ratios) is not less than 2, more preferably not less than 2 and not more than 12, and most preferably from 3 to 8. Herein, the grain diameter is the diameter of a circular image equivalent in area to the projection image of the grain, and the grain's projection image area can be found from the sum of the areas of the grains; i.e., can be obtained by observing through an electron microscope a sample of silver halide crystal grains distributed so as not to overlap one another on a sample stand; and the thus obtained grain diameter of each crystal grain is preferably not less than 0.30µm, more preferably from 0.30µm to 5µm, and most preferably from 0.40µm to 2µm. An average grain diameter (i), when the number of measured grain diameters is designated as n and the frequency of the grain having a diameter di is designated as ni, can be found from the following equation: Average grain diameter (i) = Σnidi/n (The number of measured grains shall be not less than 1000 at random.) The thickness of the grain is the distance between the two parallel major faces that form a tabular grain, and can be obtained by observing aslant the grain through an electron microscope. The thickness of the tabular silver halide grain useful in the material of the invention is preferably from 0.03 to 1.0µm, and more preferably from 0.05 to 0.5µm. The external faces of the above tabular silver halide grain may be comprised substantially of either {111} face or {100} face, and may also be of both {111} and {100} faces in combination. In this instance, {111} face covers preferably 50% or more, more preferably from 60% to 90% and most preferably from 70% to 95% of the grain surface. The remaining area other than the {111] face is preferably {100} face. The {111}face/{100}face area proportion can be found by a method which utilizes the difference in the adsorption dependence property between sensitizers as described in T. Tani, J. Imaging Sci. 29, 165 (1985). The tabular silver halide grains may be either polydisperse or monodisperse, and is preferably monodisperse; specifically, the grain diameter distribution broadness expressed with the relative standard deviation (variation coefficient) derived from Standard deviation of grain diameters Average grain diameter x 100 = grain diameter distribution broadness (%), is preferably not more than 25%, more preferably not more than 20%, and most preferably not more than 15%. The distribution of the thicknesses of the tabular silver halide grains useful in the material of the invention is preferably small; specifically, the grain thickness distribution defined by Standard deviation of thicknesses Average thickness x 100 = thickness distribution broadness (%) is preferably not more than 25%, more preferably not more than 20%, and most preferably not more than 15%. The ratio (b/a) of the grain thickness(b) to the longest distance(a) between 2 or more parallel twin planes which the silver halide grain has is preferably not less than 5 and not more than 30, and the number of grains having the ratio accounts for preferably not less than 50% of the whole grains of the emulsion. The distance(a) between twin planes is the distance between two twin planes for a grain having two twin planes, or the largest value among the distances between twin planes for a grain having three or more twin planes. The twin plane distance(a) can be determined as follows: A transmission-type-electron-microscopic observation of sample pieces is made to select arbitrarily 100 or more tabular silver halide grains each showing its cross section cut perpendicularly to its principal plane, and individual grain's twin plance distances(a) are measured, totalled and then averaged to thereby obtain the distance (a). Herein, the average value (a) is preferably not less than 0.008µm, and more preferably not less than 0.010µm and not more than 0.05µm. Herein, the distance (a) needs to be in the above value range, and at the same time its relative standard deviation needs to be not more than 35%, preferably not more than 30%. Further, the flatness represented with factors including the aspect ratio and grain thickness by the equation: A = ECD/b 2 is preferably not less than 20, wherein ECD is the average grain diameter (µm) of tabular grains, and b represents the grain thickness. The distribution of the silver halide content of each individual grain useful in the material of the invention is preferably small; specifically, the silver halide content distribution broadness defined by Silver halide content stadard deviation Average silver halide content x 100 = silver halide contend distribution broadness (%) is preferably not more than 25%, more preferably not more than 20% and most preferably not more than 15%. Herein, the tabular silver halide grain is preferably hexagonal. The hexagonal tabular grain implies that its major face ({111} face) is in the form of a hexagon, and the maximum adjacent side ratio thereof is from 1.0 to 2.0, wherein the maximum adjacent side ratio means the side length ratio of the longest to the shortest sides forming a hexagon. Herein, the hexagonal tabular grain, if the maximum adjacent side ratio is from 1.0 to 2.0, may be allowed to have round corners. Each side length in the case of round corners is expressed with the distance between the points at which lines formed by extending adjacent sides intersect. Almost circular tabular grains formed with their corners rounded are acceptable for use in the material of the invention. In the invention, 1/2 of the number of the sides forming the hexagonal tabular grain are preferably substantially in the form of straight lines. The adjacent side ratio is preferably 1.0 to 1.5. The silver halide grain useful in the material of the invention may have a dislocation, which can be directly observed at a low temperature by using a transmission-type electron microscope as described in J.F. Hamilton, Phot. Sci. Eng., 57 (1967) and T. Shiozawa, J. Soc. Phot. Sci. Japan, 35, 213 (1972); that is, the silver halide grains sample from an emulsion is taken out with care not to apply as much pressure from the emulsion to the grains as to cause dislocation and is put on a mesh for electron-microscopic observation, and the sample, in the state of being so cooled as to be prevented from being damaged (printout, etc.) by electron beams, is observed with a transmission light. In this instance, the larger the thickness of the grain, the less the electron beams transmit, so that it.is better to use a high-voltage-type (more than 200KV to the grain thickness of 0.25µm) electron microscope to make a clearer observation. From the photos of the grains recorded through an electron-microscope in the above manner there can be found the position of the dislocation of each grain. The dislocation position in the silver halide grain useful in the material of the invention is preferably present in the region of up to 0.58L-1.0L, more preferably 0.80L-0.98L from the center of the silver halide grain toward the external surface. The dislocation line is almost in the direction from the center toward the external surface, but is often meandering. The center of the silver halide grain is the center of a circle formed as a circumcircle drawn so as to be the smallest to the silver halide grain's cross-section area, in which silver halide grain crystals are dispersed in a methacryl resin to be solidified, which is microtomed to prepare ultrathin slices, out of which the largest cross-section area-having slice and a slice having a cross-section area not less than 90% thereof are picked. The distance L from the center up to the external surface is defined as the distance between the center and the point at which the line drawn outward from the above circle's center intersects the circum circle. Regarding the number of dislocations in the silver halide grain useful in the material of the invention, the number of grains having one or more dislocations preferably accounts for 50% by number of the whole grains of the emulsion; the larger (higher) the number (percentage) of tabular grains having dislocations, the better. In the silver halide emulsion used in the light-sensitive material of the invention, the average overall iodide content of the grains in the emulsion comprising tabular silver halide grains having an average aspect ratio of not less than 2.0 is preferably not more than 2 mol%, more preferably 1.0 mol% and most preferably 0.5 mol%. The average iodide content of the outermost surface of the tabular silver halide grains having an average aspect ratio of not less than 2.0 in the emulsion is preferably 3 mol% to 20 mol%, and more preferably 4 mol% to 15 mol%. The iodide content of the outermost surface is preferably higher than that of the inner side of the grain. Further, the distribution of the outermost-surface iodide contents of individual grains is preferred to be as much narrow as possible, and its variation coefficient is preferably not more than 25%, more preferably not more than 20%. To the adjustment of the outermost-surface iodide content of the above tabular silver halide grain there can apply a method for adding simultaneously both a silver nitrate solution and an iodide ion-containing solution to the emulsion containing tabular grains as parent grains; a method of adding fine grains of silver halide such as silver iodide, silver iodobromide or silver chloroiodobromide; or a method of adding potassium iodide or a mixture of potassium iodide and potassium bromide. The most preferred among these methods is the addition of silver halide fine grains. The above outermost-surface iodide content adjustment can be made at any point of time in the course from the final stage of the silver halide crystals growing process through the chemical ripening process up to the coating solution preparation process just before coating the silver halide emulsion, but is preferably made by the time of completion of the chemical ripening process. The chemical ripening process herein means the duration from the completion point of time of the physical ripening and desalting of the silver halide emulsion of the invention through the addition of chemical sensitizers up to the moment of stopping the chemical ripening process. The addition of the fine-grained silver iodide may be conducted intermittently at time intervals, and after the addition of the fine-grained silver iodide there may be further added other chemically-ripened emulsion. The temperature of the emulsion useful in the material of the invention at the time of adding the fine-grained silver iodide thereto is preferably from 30 to 80°C, more preferably from 40° to 65°C. The invention is preferably practiced under conditions where the fine-grained silver iodide to be added, after its addition, vanishes partially or wholly during the period of time up to just before the emulsion coating. More preferably, 20% of more of the added fine-grained silver iodide should vanish by the time immediately before the coating. The determination of the vanished amount can be carried out in the following manner: The emulsion or coating liquor after the fine-grained silver iodide is added thereto is taken to be subjected to centrifugation under an appropriate condition; then the supernatant is taken to have its absorption spectrum measured; and the measured absorption spectrum is compared with a reference absorption spectrum prepared with a known-concentration fine-grained silver iodide solution. The outermost-surface in the invention is a silver halide phase in the surface region having a thickness of 5nm (50Å) from the surface. Thus, the outmost-surface iodide content of the tabular silver halide grain useful in the material of the invention is an iodide content of the portion as deep as 5nm (50Å) which has been determined by subjecting a sample of silver halide grains cooled down to -110°C to the XPS (X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy) surface analysis method. The iodide content of each individual grain can be measured by using the EPMA (Electron-Probe Micro Analyzer) method. The variation coefficient of the iodide content rates of individual grains can be determined in the same manner as in the variation coefficient of the foregoing various characteristics values; i.e., the iodide contents of at least 100 grains are measured according to the EPMA method, and the standard deviation of the iodide contents is divided by the average iodide content to give a value, which is multiplied by 100, whereby the variation coefficient is obtained. In the tabular silver halide grain used in the invention, the portion of the grain except the outermost surface thereof may be of a uniform composition, but the light-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer of the material of the invention preferably comprises silver halide grains 50% by number or more of which are core/shell-type grains having a structure composed of at least two phases substantially different in halide composition from each other. The core/shell-type grain can have in its central portion a region different in halide composition from the core. The halide composition of seed grains in such a case may be an arbitrary combination of silver halides such as silver bromide, silver iodobromide, silver chloroiodobromide, silver chlorobromide, silver chloride, and the like. The average silver iodide content of the silver halide emulsion useful in the material of the invention is preferably not more than 2 mol%. In a grain having a structure of phases different in halide composition, it preferably has an internal high-silver-iodide-content phase and on the outermost shell thereof a low-silver-iodide-content phase or silver bromide phase. In this instance, the silver iodide content of the inside phase (core) having the highest silver halide content is preferably not less than 2.5 mol%, more preferably not less than 5 mol%, while the silver iodide content of the outermost shell is preferably from 0 to 5 mol%, and more preferably from 0 to 3 mol%. The silver iodide content of the core is preferably at least 3 mol% higher than that of the shell. The silver iodide content of the core is normally uniform, but may vary to have a distribution thereof; for example, the concentration of silver iodide may increase outwardly from the central part of the core or may have the maximum or minimum concentration in the middle region of the core. The silver halide grain used in the invention may be the so called halogen conversion-type grain. The halogen conversion amount is preferably from 0.2 to 2.0 mol% per mol of silver. The conversion may be carried out either during the physical ripening or after completion of the physical ripening process. The halogen conversion is normally carried out by adding to the silver halide grain an aqueous halogen solution whose solubility product with silver is smaller than the silver halide composition on the surface of the grain prior to undergoing halogen conversion treatment or fine-grained silver halide to the silver halide grain, wherein the grain diameter of the fine-grained silver halide is preferably not more than 0.2 µm, and more preferably from 0.02 to 0.1 µm. In order to prepare a silver halide photographic emulsion of the tabular silver halide grain suitable for use in the material of the invention by providing an aqueous silver salt solution and an aqueous halide solution in the presence of a protective colloid, there is preferably used a grain-growing process comprising: (a) a nucleus grain producing process to keep the pBr of mother liquor at 2.5 to -0.7 is provided over a period of not less than 1/2 of the duration from the initial stage of the formation of the silver halide precipitation having a silver iodide content of 0 to 5 mol%; (b) the nucleus grain producing process is followed by either a seed grain forming process with the mother liquor containing a silver halide solvent in an amount 10 -5 mol to 2.0 mol per mol of silver halide to form silver halide seed grains being substantially monodisperse spherical twin crystals or a seed grain forming process with the mother liquor at a temperature raised to 40-80°C to form silver halide twin crystal grains; and then (c) followed by a grain-growing process to grow the seed grain by adding thereto the aqueous silver salt solution, the aqueous halide solution and/or silver halide fine grains. The mother liquor mentioned above means a solution (including silver halide emulsions) applied to the preparation of an emulsion up to the time of making it into the form of a complete photographic emulsion. The silver halide grain formed in the above grain producing process is a twin crystal grain comprised of 0 to 5mol% silver iodide. An aqueous silver salt solution may be added for the purpose of ripening adjustment during the seed grain forming process. The seed grain growing process can be accomplished by controlling pAg, pH, temperature, the concentration of the silver halide solvent, silver halide composition, the adding speed of silver salt and halide solutions during the silver halide precipitation and during the Ostwald ripening. In the preparation of the emulsion useful in the invention, known silver halide solvents such as ammonia, thioether, thiourea, etc., may be present at the time of forming and growing the seed grain. As the growing condition for the seed grain, there may be used a method in which an aqueous silver salt solution and an aqueous halide solution are added according to a double-jet precipitation process at an adding speed being gradually changed within limits not allowing any new nucleus formation and Ostwald ripening to occur as the grain grows as described in JP O.P.I. Nos. 39027/1976, 142329/1980, 113928/-1983, 48521/1979 and 49938/1983. As another growing condition of the seed grain there may also be used a method in which silver halide fine grains are added, dissolved and recrystalized as seen in Item 88 of the book of papers presented to the 1983 annual convention of the Society of Photographic Science and Technology of Japan. In the growth of grains both aqueous silver nitrate and halide solutions can be added according to a double-jet precipitation process, but the iodide can be supplied in the form of silver iodide into the reaction system, wherein the addition of both solutions is preferably made at a speed not allowing any new nucleus formation and any grain size distribution broadness increase due to Ostwald ripening to occur; i.e., at a speed in the range of from 30 to 100% of the new nucleus forming speed. In the preparation of the silver halide emulsion useful in the material of the invention, the stirring condition in its manufacturing process is very important. The most preferred stirring device is one having therein a solution-adding nozzle as shown in JP O.P.I. No. 160128/1987 which is immersed in liquid in proximity to the mother liquor inlet hole, in which the number of revolutions of the stirrer is preferably from 400 to 1200 rpm. The iodide contents of the silver halide grains useful in the material of the invention can be found according to EPMA (Electron Probe Micro Analizer) method. In this method, a sample of emulsion grains well dispersed so as to have the grains not to come in contact with one another is prepared, and therefore the method makes it possible to carry out an elementary analysis of much more minute details than the X-ray analysis using the electron beam excitation by the emission of electron beams. By finding the characteristic X-ray intensities of the silver and the iodide emitted from each grain according to this method, the silver halide composition of each individual grain can be determined. When the silver iodide contents of at least 100 grains are determined according to the EPMA method, an average silver iodide content can be obtained from the average thereof. In the manufacture of the light-sensitive silver halide grain useful in the material of the invention, it is preferred that in the seed emulsion, 50% or more of the grains in the overall projection area of the seed grains have each two or more parallel twin planes, and the variation coefficient of the thicknesses of the seed grains and that of the longest distances (a t ) between the twin planes of the seed grains are both preferably not more than 35%. Even if the variation coefficient of either one alone of the thicknesses or the longest distances(a t ) between twin planes of the seed grains were held down to not more than 35%, the variation coefficient of the distances(a) between twin planes of the grown grains can not be held down to less than 35%; it is necessary for both to accomplish the same simultaneously. Further, the silver halide grain useful in the material of the invention may have metallic ions of at least one of salts selected from among cadmium salts, zinc salts, lead salts, thalium salts, iridium salts (including complex salts thereof), rhodium salts (including complex salts thereof) and iron salts (including complex salts thereof) added thereto to have these metal elements incorporated into the inside and/or surface phase of the grain; or the grain, by being placed in an appropriate reductive atmosphere, can have a reduction sensitization nucleus provided to the inside and/or surface phase thereof. The action of a reducing agent that was added at a discretionary point of time during the grain formation is preferably restrained or stopped through being inactivated by adding hydrogen peroxide (water) and an adduct thereof, a peroxyacid salt, ozone, I 2 , and the like at an arbitrary point of time. The time when an oxidizing agent should be added can be discretionarily selected during the period from the silver halide formation up to the chemical sensitization process. The silver halide emulsion of the silver halide photographic light-sensitive material of the invention may optionally have any unnecessary water-soluble salts removed therefrom after cornpletion of growing the silver halide grains. Where the salts should be removed, the removal can be conducted according to the method described in Research Disclosure No. 17643, Item II. The silver halide emulsion layer may also contain silver halide grains other than the tabular grains defined herein within limits not to impair the effect of the invention. In the invention, it is also preferable to add a silver halide solvent prior to the desalting process in order to accelerate the developing speed. For example, it is preferred to add a thiocyanic acid compound, such as potassium thiocyanate, sodium thiocyanate or ammonium thiocyanate, in an amount of from 1x10 -3 to 3x10 -2 mol per mol of silver. The latex for use in the material of the invention is preferably one having little or no bad influence at all in the following points. Namely, the above implies that the surface of the latex used shall be photographically inactive so as to have very little interaction with various photographic additives, for example, as in the cases where the latex adsorbs dyes or coloring agents to make a photographic element which is difficult to stain; where the latex hardly adsorbs a development accelerator or a development inhibitor, influencing the developing speed, and therefore little affects the sensitivity or fogging; where when manufacturing a photographic element, there is little dependence of it upon pH in a photographic solution having the latex dispersed therein; and where the latex is little affected by ion intensities, so that it does not aggregate to a great degree. The fact that the latex useful in the invention has the above characteristics is considered largely attributable to the monomer composition and the nature of this latex. To the latex there is often applied an indication called glass transition point. The higher the glass transition point is, the less likely it is that the latex can play its role as a buffer, but on the contrary, when the transition point is low, generally the latex is liable to interact with photographic characteristics, resulting in bad consequences. For this reason, the selection of the latex composition and the amount of the latex to be used are not simple when taking account of the photographic characteristics. There are well-known latexes comprised of monomers such as styrene, butadiene, vinylidene and the like. The introduction of a monomer having a carboxylic acid group, such as acrylic acid, itaconic acid, maleic acid, or the like, into a latex at the time of its synthesis is said to reduce its influence upon photographic characteristics, and attempts have often been made to carry out such synthesis methods. It is also preferred that the glass transition point be appropriately set up according to the type of the light-sensitive material by the incorporation of a methacrylate unit into the latex that has been obtained in the above-mentioned combination. For particular examples of the latex in connection with the glass transition point reference can be made to JP O.P.I. No. 135335/1992 and Japanese Patent Application Nos. 119113/1993 and 119114/1993. The incorporation of a dye that can be decolored and/or eluted during development into at least any one of the layers containing the light-sensitive silver halide emulsion and other non-emulsion component layers enables a light-sensitive material to be obtained which has a high sensitivity and is capable of forming a high-sharpness image with little dye stain. The dye applicable to the light-sensitive material may be arbitrarily selected from among those dyes capable of absorbing desired wavelength bands according to the light-sensitive material to remove the influence by the wavelength to thereby improve the image sharpness. The dye should be decolored or eluted off in the developing process of the light-sensitive material, and the dye, at the time of completion of developing an image, is preferably almost invisible. The dye useful in the material of the invention is substantally insoluble in water at pH of 7 or lower, but is substantially soluble in water at pH of 8 or above.

The following are examples of the dye used in the material of the invention: The above exemplified compounds, useful in the material of the invention, are described in JP O.P.I. Nos. 92716/1977, 120030/1980, 155350/1980, 155351/1980, 12639/1981, 197943/1988, 1838/1990 and 1839/1990; World Patent No. 88/04794; U.S. Patent Nos. 4,861,700 and 4,950,586; and European Patent No. 489,973, and their syntheses may also be carried out in accordance with the methods described in the above publications. For the preparation of the solid particle dispersion of the dye useful in the material of the invention, there may be used an appropriate method described in JP O.P.I. Nos. 92716/1977, 155350/1980, 155351/1980, 197943/1988 and 182743/1991; and World Patent WO88/04794. Specifically, it can be prepared with a surfactant by using a finely dispersing machine such as a ball mill, oscillation mill, planetary mill, sand mill, roller mill, jet mill, disk impeller mill, or the like. Alternatively, the dispersion of the dye can be obtained by a method in which the dye is dissolved in a weak aqueous alkali solution, and then the pH of the solution is lowered to thereby precipitate a fine-grained solid, or also by a method in which a weak alkali solution of the dye and an aqueous acid solution of the same dye are simultaneously mixed with the pH being adjusted to thereby prepare a fine-grained solid. The dye may be used alone or in a mixture of two or more kinds thereof. In the case of using a mixture of two or more kinds, the mixing may be conducted either after separately dispersing the different dyes or simultaneously with the dispersion. In the material of the invention the dye is dispersed in the form of a solid particle dispersion, and preferably has an average particle size of from 0.01µm to 5µm, more preferably from 0.01µm to 1µm, and most preferably from 0.01µm to 0.5µm. The variation coefficient of the particle size distribution is preferably not more than 50%, more preferably not more than 40%, and most preferably not more than 30%, wherein the variation coefficient of the particle size distribution is a value calculated according to the following formula: Standard deviation of particle sizes Average particle size x 100 Requirements as the antiseptic for the solid particle dispersion of the dye used in the photographic light-sensitive material are that it should have no interaction with photographic additives; should show even in a small amount a large antimold/fungicide effect upon microbes such as bacteria, yeast, mold, etc.; should have no influence upon photographic characteristics such as desensitization, fog, graininess and sharpness; and should have no influence upon photographic processing performance such as developability and fixability. As the surfactant used in the invention there may be used any one of anionic, nonionic, cationic and amphoteric surfactants, but the preferred surfactant includes anionic surfactants such as alkylsulfonates, alkylbenzenesulfonates, alkylnaphthalenesulfonates, alkylsulfates, sulfosuccinates, sulfoalkylpolyoxyethylenealkylphenylethers and N-acyl-N-alkyltaurines, and nonionic surfactants such as saponin, alkyleneoxide derivatives and alkylene esters of sugar. The amount of the anionic surfactant and/or nonionic surfactant to be used differs according to the type of surfactant used or the foregoing dye dispersion conditions, but is preferably from 0,1 to 2000 mg, more preferably from 0.5 to 1000 mg and most preferably from 1 to 500 mg per gram of the dye. The dye concentration in its dispersion is preferably from 0.01 to 10% by weight, more preferably from 0.1 to 5% by weight. The surfactant is preferably added prior to the commencement of dispersing the dye or, if necessary, further added to the dye dispersion liquid after completion of its dispersion. The anionic surfactant or nonionic surfactant may be used alone or in combination of two or more kinds of each surfactant, and both may be used in combination. To the dye dispersion used in the material of the invention there may be added a hydrophilic colloid useful as the binder for photographic component layers before starting or after completion of dispersion. As the hydrophilic colloid, gelatin is advantageous, and other examples include gelatin derivatives such as phenylcarbamylated gelatin, acylated gelatin, phthalated gelatin; graft polymers comprised of gelatin with polymerizable ethylene-having monomers; cellulose derivatives such as carboxymethyl cellulose, hydroxymethyl cellulose, cellulose sulfate; synthetic aqueous polymers such as polyvinyl alcohol, partially oxidized polyvinyl acetate, polyacrylamide, poly-N,N-dimethylacrylamide, poly-N-vinylpyrrolidone, polymethacrylic acid; agar-agar, gum arabic, alginic acid, albumine, casein, and the like. These may be used in combination. The adding amount of the hydrophilic colloid to the dye dispersion is preferably from 0.1 to 12% by weight, and more preferably from 0.5 to 8% by weight. Herein, the component layer to contain the dye is preferably a silver halide emulsion layer or a layer that is located closer than the emulsion layer to the support or can be both layers, and more preferably, it is effective to incorporate the dye into a layer provided adjacent to a transparent support. It is preferable for the dye to have a higher concentration when located in a layer closer to the support. Herein, the adding amount of the above dye can be varied according to the intended image sharpness; preferably from 0.2 to 20 mg/m 2 , and more preferably from 0.8 to 15 mg/m 2 . In the light-sensitive material of the invention, where the silver halide emulsion layer is to be colored, the dye is added either to the silver halide emulsion or to an aqueous hydrophilic colloid solution, and the dye-added solution is coated either directly or through another hydrophilic colloid layer on the support in accordance with an appropriate method. As aforementioned, the dye preferably has a higher concentration on a side closer to the support, but in order to fix the dye in a closest possible position to the support, there may be used a mordant such as a nondiffusible mordant capable of combining with at least one type of the above-mentioned dye; the preferably usable examples of such mordants are described in West German Patent No. 2,263,031; British Patent Nos. 1,221,131 and 1,221,195; JP O.P.I. Nos. 47624/1975 and 71332/1975; JP E.P. No. 1418/1976; U.S. Patent Nos. 2,548,564, 2,675,316, 2,795,519, 2,839,401, 2,882,156, 3,048,487, 3,184,309, 3,444,138, 3,445,231, 3,706,563, 3,709,690 and 3,788,855. For binding the nondiffusible mordant with the dye there may be used various methods known to those skilled in the art; particularly a method for making the binding in a gelatin binder is suitably used. Another method in which the binding is made in an appropriate binder, and then dispersed in an aqueous gelatin solution by an ultrasonic wave may also be used. Although the binding ratio depends upon the type of compounds used, normally 0.1 part to 10 parts of the nondiffusible mordant are used to combine to 1 part of an aqueous dye solution. The amount of the dye added in the form of an aqueous solution of it, because of being bound with the nondiffusible mordant, may be larger than when used alone. When the dye-nondiffusible mordant-combined material should be incorporated into the light-sensitive material, a component layer exclusive for the material may be established, and the position of it, although discretionarily selectable, is preferably adjacent to the transparent support. For the silver halide light-sensitive material of the invention there may be used various photographic additives. Well-known photographic additives include the compounds described in Reseach Disclosure No.17643 (Dec. 1978), No.18716 (Nov. 1979) and No.308119 (Dec. 1989), wherein the relevant types of compounds and their sections are as follows: RD-17643 RD-18716 RD-308119 Additive Page Sec.

The hydrophilic colloid of the silver halide emulsion layer and non-light-sensitive layer of the light-sensitive material of the invention preferably contains an inorganic or organic hardener. Examples of the hardener include chromates such as chrome alum, chrome acetate; aldehydes such as formaldehyde, glyoxal, glutaraldehyde; N-methylol compounds such as dimethylolurea, methylolhydantoin; dioxane derivatives such as 2,3-dihydroxydioxane; active vinyl compounds such as 1,3,5-triacryloyl-hexahydro-s-triazine, bis(vinylsulfonyl)-methyl ether, N,N'-methylene-bis(β-(vinylsulfonyl)propionamide; active halogen compounds such as 2,4-dichloro-6-hydroxy-s-triazine; mucohalogenic acids such as mucochloric acid, mucophenoxychloric acid; and isooxazoles such as 2-chloro-6-hydroxytriazinylated gelatin. These compoundes may be used alone or in combination. The preferred among these compounds are the active halogen compounds described in JP O.P.I. Nos. 41221/1978, 57257/1978, 162456/1984 and 80846/1985. As the hardener useful in the material of the invention there may be effectively used polymer hardeners, preferable examples of which include dialdehyde starch, polyacrolein; aldehydo group-having polymers like the acrolein copolymer described in U.S. Patent No. 3,396,029; the epoxy group-having polymers described in U.S. Patent No. 3,623,878; the dichlorotriazine group-having polymers described in U.S. Patent No. 3,362,827 and Reseach Disclosure 17333 (1978); the active ester group-having polymers described in JP O.P.I. No. 66841/1981; and the polymers having an active vinyl group or a precursor thereof described in JP O.P.I. Nos. 142524/1981 and 65033/1979, and RD-16725 (1978). Of the above compounds, the most preferred are polymers in which the active vinyl group or its precursor is linked through a long spacer to the polymer's principal chain as described in JP. O.P.I. No. 142524/1981. In order to make the photographic light-sensitive material of the invention adaptable to rapid processing, it is preferable to reduce its moisture content prior to starting its drying step in the manner of adjusting its water-swelling degree in the developing-fixing-washing process by in advance adding an appropriate amount of a hardener thereto in the coating process thereof. The swelling degree of the silver halide light-sensitive material of the invention in a developer solution is preferably 150% to 250%, and the layer thickness after the swelling is preferably not more than 70µm. If the swelling degree exceeds 250%, drying trouble occurs, which, in an autoprocessor processing, particularly in rapid processing, also results in a transport failure, while if the swelling degree is less than 150%, it tends to cause the light-sensitive material to form an image lacking in uniformity when developed and also to be deteriorated with residual color. The swelling degree herein is a value obtained in the manner that the difference between the thickness of the light-sensitive material after being swelled in the respective processing solutions and the thickness of the material prior to the processing is divided by the thickness prior to the processing, and the divided value is then multiplied by 100. Materials usable as the support for the light-sensitive material of the invention include those as described in the aforementioned publications: RD-17643 p.28, and RD-308119 p.1009. Suitable as the support are plastic films. The support, in order to improve its adhesion to the coated layer, may be provided thereon with a subbing layer or subjected to surface treatment such as corona-discharge treatment or ultraviolet ray irradiation treatment. The silver halide photographic light-sensitive material of the invention is one that comprises the above-mentioned silver halide emulsion, and is available as, e.g., black-and-white silver halide photographic light-sensitive materials such as medical light-sensitive material, graphic arts light-sensitive material, negative light-sensitive material for general photographing use; color photographic light-sensitive materials such as color negative light-sensitive material, color reversal light-sensitive material, color prints-making light-sensitive material; light-sensitive materials for diffusion transfer process, and light-sensitive materials for thermal development process. Especially, the light-sensitive material of the invention is used preferably as a black-and-white silver halide photographic light-sensitive material, and more preferably used as a light-sensitive material for medical use. In the case of applying the invention to the medial X-ray radiography, for example, there is used an X-ray intensifying screen composed principally of phosphor that emits near ultraviolet light or visible light by being exposed to transmitting radiant rays. The light-sensitive material of the invention used for this purpose is a double sided emulsion film which is preferably used with the intensifying screen closely applied to both sides thereof to be exposed to the radiant rays. The transmitting radiant rays herein are high-energy electromagnetic waves, including X-rays and γ-rays. The above X-ray intensifying screen or fluorescent screen includes a screen comprised principally of calcium tungstate, or a screen comprised principally of a rare earth compound activated with terbium. The intensifying screen is suitably one prepared by uniformly coating a phosphor component on a base in the sheet, cylindrical or conical form. Where a low-sensitivity light-sensitive material is used, it is preferable to use an X-ray intensifying screen of which the sensitivity is raised and at the same time the quantum mottle is reduced to improved the graininess by increasing the thickness of the phosphor component and coating the component in the conical form as in the microstructure intensifying screen described in the German Karman Nuclear Research presented to the '92 RSNA session 868C. The preferred processing procedure for the light-sensitive material of the invention is described below: Useful examples of the developing agent used in a developer solution for developing the light-sensitive material of the invention include the dihydroxybenzene described in JP O.P.I. Nos. 15641/1992 and 16841/1992, such as hydroquinone; p-aminophenols such as p-aminophenol, N-methyl-p-aminophenol, 2,4-diaminophenol; 3-pyrazolones such as 1-phenyl-3-pyrazolidone, methyl-3-pyrazolidone, 1-phenyl-4-methyl-4-hydroxymethyl-3-pyrazolidone, and 5,5-dimethyl-1-phenyl-3-pyrazolidone. These compounds are preferably used in combination. The using amount of the above p-aminophenol or 3-aminopyrazolidone is preferably 0.004 mol/liter, and more preferably 0.04 to 0.12 mol/liter. The total of the molar numbers of the dihydroxy benzene, p-aminophenol and 3-pyrazolone contained in the whole developer components is preferably not more than 0.1 mol/liter. The developer solution may contain as the preservative thereof a sulfite such as potassium sulfite or sodium sulfite; and a reductone such as piperidinohexosereductone, which may be used preferably 0.2 to 1 mol/liter, more preferably 0.3 to 0.6 mol/liter. The addition of a large amount of an ascorbic acid leads to improving the processing stability. Examples of the alkali agent for the developer solution include pH adjusting agents such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate, sodium triphosphate and potassium triphosphate. Besides, there may be used a buffer selected from among the borates described in JP O.P.I.

EXAMPLES Examples of the invention are illustrated in detail, but the invention is not restricted by the examples. EXAMPLE 1 Preparation of Seed Emulsion-1 Seed Emulsion-1 was prepared as follows. Solution A1: Ossein gelatin 24.2g Water 9657 ml Sodium polypropyleneoxy-polyethyleneoxydisuccinate (10% ethanol/aqueous solution) 6.78ml Potassium bromide 10.8g 10% nitric acid 114 ml Solution B1: 2.5N aqueous silver nitrate solution 2825 ml Solution C1: Potassium bromide 824 g Potassium iodide 23.5g Water to make 2825 ml Solution D1: 1.75N aqueous potassium bromide solution Amount necessary for the following Ag potential control A mixing/stirring device of the type described in JP E.P. Nos. 58288/1983 and 58289/1983 was used to make nucleus formation by adding 464.3ml each of Solutions B1 and C1, spending 1.5 minutes, to Solution A1 at 42°C according to the double-jet precipitation process. After stopping the addition of Solutions B1 and C1, the temperature of Solution A1 was raised to 60°C spending 60 minutes, pH of it was adjusted with 3% KOH to 5.0, and then Solutions B1 and C1 were again added according to the double-jet process at a flow rate of 55.4 ml/min spending 42 minutes. The silver potential (measured with a silver ion selection electrode, using a saturated silver-silver chloride electrode as a reference electrode) while the temperature was raised from 42°C to 60°C and while the resumed double-jet addition of Solutions B1 and C1 was in progress was controlled with use of Solution D1 so as to be +8mv and +16mv, respectively. After completion of the addition, pH was adjusted with 3% KOH to 6, and the reaction product was immediately desalted and washed. The thus produced seed grain emulsion was confirmed by observation under an electron microscope as comprising hexagonal tabular grains of which 90% or more of the overall projection area have a maximum adjacent side ratio of from 1.0 to 2.0; an average grain thickness of 0.06µm; and an average grain diameter (in terms of a circle diameter) of 0.59µm. The variation coefficient of the grain thicknesses was 40%, and that of the distances between twin planes was 42%. Preparation of Emulsion Em-1 A tabular grain emulsion having a core/shell-type structure was prepared by using the above Seed Emulsion-1 and the following 4 different solutions: Solution A2: Ossein gelatin 11.7g Sodium polypropyleneoxy-polyethyleneoxy-disuccinate (10% ethanol aqueous solution) 1.4 ml Seed Emulsion-1 equivalent to 0.10 mol Water to make 550 ml Solution B2: Ossein gelatin 5.9g Potassium bromide 4.6g Potassium iodide 3.0g Water to make 145 ml Solution C2: Silver nitrate 10.1g Water to make 145 ml Solution D2: Osein gelatin 6.1g Potassium bromide 94 g Water to make 304 ml Solution E1: Silver nitrate 137 g Water to make 304 ml To Solution A2, which was being vigorously stirred, Solutions B2 and C2 were added in 58 minutes according to the double-jet precipitation process, and then to the same solution were added Solutions D2 and E1 in 48 minutes by the double-jet process. In the above duration, pH and pAg were maintained at 5.8 and 8.7, respectively. After completion of the addition, pH was adjusted with 3% KOH solution to 6, and immediately the reaction product was desalted and washed, whereby an emulsion having pAg 8.5 and pH 5.85 at 40°C and having an average silver iodide content of about 2.0 mol% was obtained. As a result of observing the obtained emulsion through an electron microscope, it was found that the emulsion was of tabular silver halide grains of which 81% or more of the projection area were grains having an average grain diameter of 0.96µm; a grain diameter distribution broadness of 18%; an average aspect ratio of 4.5; and being comprised of double twinned crystals. The average of the distances(a) between twin planes of the above grains was 0.007µm, and the variation coefficient of (a) was 45%. Subsequently, the thus obtained silver halide emulsion was used to examine the effect of the invention. In order to evaluate both the effect of adding the spectral sensitizer in the form of a methanol solution and the effect of adding the same in the form of a solid particulate dispersion, the emulsion Em-1 was subjected to spectral sensitization and to chemical sensitization in accordance with the following two different prescriptions. It was found that the resulting emulsion grains of each had a surface silver halide phase containing 4.0 mol% iodide. Prescription A: To the emulsion at 60°C were added methanol solutions of spectral sensitizers I-56 and II-2, and then added an aqueous solution of a mixture of ammonium thiocyanate, chloroauric acid and sodium thiosulfate, and a fine-grained silver iodide emulsion, thereby subjecting the emulsion to two-hour chemical ripening treatment. Upon completion of the chemical ripening, to the emulsion was added a stabilizer, 4-hydroxy-6-methyl-1,3,3a,7-tetrazaindene (TAI). Prescription B: The same prescription as the above prescription A except that the spectral sensitizer was added in the form of a solid particulate dispersion instead of adding in the form of a methanol solution. This dispersion was prepared in accordance with the method described in Japanese Patent Application No. 499437/1992; i.e., prepared by adding specified amounts of Sensitizers I-56 and II-2 to water warmed at 27°C beforehand, and by stirring this over a period of 30 to 120 minutes by means of a high-speed stirrer 'Dissolver' at 3,500 rpm. The amounts of the above additives added are as follows: Spectral sensitizer I-56 4 mg/mol Ag Spectral sensitizer II-2 410 mg Potassium thiocyanate 95 mg Chloroauric acid 2.5mg Sodium thiosulfate 2.5mg Fine-grained silver iodide 850 mg Stabilizer (TAI) 1 g The adding amounts of the spectral sensitizers I-56 and II-2 in the case of adding in the form of a solid particle dispersion were varied. Next, the thus sensitized emulsion, after adding the hereinafter described additives thereto, was used as an emulsion coating liquor. The coating of the emulsion was made on a support by using a slide hopper-type coater so that the coated weight of silver was 2.0g/m 2 and that of gelatin 3.1g/m 2 , whereby a dry sample was obtained. The support used was a polyethylene terephthalate film base for X-ray film use having a thickness of 175µm, being blue-tinted to a density of 0.15, and having both sides thereof subbed with a copolymer aqueous dispersion obtained by diluting into a concentration of 10wt% a copolymer comprising 3 different monomers: glycidyl methacrylate 50wt%, methyl methacrylate 10wt% and butyl methacrylate 40wt%. The additives added to the emulsion are as follows, wherein each additive is shown in in amount per mol of silver halide. Water-soluble dye Protective layer coating solution A protective layer coating solution of the following composition was prepared, wherein each component is shown in an amount per liter of the solution. Besides, other samples were prepared by changing the kind of the spectral-sensitizing dye as shown in Table 2 Sample No. Prescription Kinds of dye and adding amount (total amount: mg/mol AgI) 1 A I-56/II-2 = 44/371 (415) 2 B I-56/II-2 = 27/223 (250) 3 B I-56/II-2 = 30/250 (280) 4 A I-4/II-2 = 44/371 (415) 5 B I-4/II-2 = 30/250 (280) 6 A I-16/II-2 = 44/371 (415) 7 B I-16/II-2 = 30/250 (280) The relative speed, residual color density and reflection spectrum of each of the samples thus obtained were evaluated. For evaluation, firstly, each sample was sandwiched by a pair of sheets of intensifying screen KO-250, manufactured by KONICA Corp., and then was exposed for 0.05 second through an aluminum step wedge to X-rays radiated under conditions of a tube voltage of 80kvp and a tube potential of 100mA. The exposed sample was then processed in developer and fixer baths of the following prescriptions by an automatic processor SRX-502, manufactured by KONICA Corp. Developer: Part-A (for making 12-liter working solution) Potassium hydroxide 450 g Potassium sulfite (50% solution) 2280 g Diethylenetetraminepentaacetic acid 120 g Sodium hydrogencarbonate 132 g 5-Methylbenzotriazole 1.2g 1-Phenyl-5-mercaptotetrazole 0.2g Hydroquinone 340 g Water to make 5000 ml Part-B (for making 12-liter working solution) Glacial acetic acid 170 g Triethylene glycol 185 g 1-Phenyl-3-pyrazolidone 22 g 5-nitroindazole 0.4g Starter Glacial acetic acid 120 g Potassium bromide 225 g Water to make 1.0 liter Fixer Part-A (for making 18-liter working solution) Ammonium thiosulfate (70wt/vol%) 6000 g Sodium sulfite 110 g Sodium acetate, trihydrate 450 g Sodium citrate 50 g Gluconic acid 70 g 1-(N,N-dimethylamino)ethyl-5-mercaptotetrazole 18 g Part-B Aluminum sulfate 800 g For making a developer working solution, both Part-A and Part-B were added simultaneously to about 5 liters of water and dissoved with stirring, and to this was added water to make the whole 12 liters, and pH of it was adjusted with glacial acetic acid to 10.40. To one liter of the above prepared developer were added 20 ml of the foregoing starter, pH was adjusted to 10.26, and this was used as a working solution. For preparing a fixer solution, both Part-A and Part-B were added simultaneously to about 5 liters of water and dissolved with stirring, and to this was added water to make the whole 18 liters, and pH of it was adjusted with sulfuric acid or NaOH to 4.4; this was provided as a fixer replenisher. Regarding the processing temperatures, developing was made at 35°C, Fixing at 33°C, washing at 20°C, and drying at 50°C. The overall dry-to-dry processing time was 45 seconds. After processing, samples were subjected to sensitometry tests. The sensitivity of each sample was expressed as the reciprocal of the exposure amount necessary for giving a fog+0.5 density, and indicated in the following table as a relative speed to the speed of Sample No.1 set at 100. Regarding the residual color stain, the specular transmission density in the fogged area of each processed sample was measured with a spectrophotometer U-3210, manufactured by Hitachi Ltd., and indicated in the following table with a relative density to the peak density of the residual dye remaining in the processed Sample No.1 set at 100, wherein the spectrophotometric measurement was made on each sample before being processed. The obtained results are shown in the following table. The reflection spectra of Samples No.1 to No.3 are shown in Figure 1. Sample No. Relative speed Residual color 1 100 100 2 115 55 3 125 62 4 102 100 5 130 62 6 100 100 7 125 62 From the above results, it has been found that the addition of the sensitizing dyes in the form of solid particle dispersion, even in a small amount, enables to give unexpectedly better spectral absorption results, higher sensitivities and less residual color stains than in the form of methanol solutions. These effects were totally beyond expectations in the initial stage. In addition, even in other spectral sensitizers, regardless of whether used alone or in combination, similar solid particle dye dispersion results to those shown in the above were found. EXAMPLE 2 Preparation of Emulsion Em-2 Tabular pure silver bromide emulsion Em-2 was prepared in the same manner as in Em-1 except that the Solution B2 was replaced by Solution B3. Solution B3: Osein gelatin 5.9g Potassium bromide 6.75g Water to make 145 ml The obtained emulsion was observed through an electron microscope. As a result, it was found that the emulsion was of tabular silver halide grains 81% of the projection area of which were grains having an average grain diameter of 0.97µm, a grain diameter distribution broadness of 18%, and an average aspect ratio of 4.6. In addition, the grains were comprised of double twinned crystals and the average of the average distance(a) between twin planes was 0.007µm, and the variation coefficient of (a) was 45%. Emulsion samples were prepared in the same manner as in Em-1 and Em-2 except that the adding amount of fine-grained silver iodide in Sample No.1 (Prescription B) in Example 1 was changed to vary the iodide content of the grain surface, and each emulsion was coated on both sides of a support simultaneously by means of two slide hopper-type coaters so that the coating weight of silver was 2.0g/m 2 per side and that of gelatin 3.1g/m 2 per side, and then dried, whereby Samples No.8 to No.17 were obtained. The support used was a polyethylene terephthalate film base for radiographic use having a thickness of 175µm and blue-tinted to have a density of 0.15, both sides of which are each subbed with a gelatin layer containing a copolymer aqueous dispersion obtained by diluting into 10wt% the concentration of a copolymer comprised of 3 different monomers: glycidyl methacrylate 50wt%, methyl methacrylate 10wt% and butyl methacrylate 40wt%. The prepared samples are shown in Table 4. Sample No. Emulsion Iodide content(mol%) of grain surface after chemical ripening 8 (Comp.) Em-1 1.0 9 (Inv.)

Em-2 25.0 The thus obtained Samples No.8 to No.17 were each allowed to stand over a period of 4 days under two different conditions (Condition C: 23°C/55%RH, Condition D: 40°C/80%RH), and after that, their photographic characteristics were evaluated. The results are shown in Table 3, in which the 22.5-second super-rapid processing was enabled by use of a modified automatic processor in combination with processing solutions which were made lower-replenishment-rate by altering their compositions. The performance of each sample was indicated as a relative value to that of Sample No.8 set at 100. Sample No. Condition C Condition D Relative speed Desensitized range sharpness 45-sec. processing 22.5-sec. processing 45-sec. processing 45-sec. processing 8 100 100 100 100 9 140 150 60 115 10 145 158 50 120 11 145 125 70 125 12 85 70 120 120 13 85 85 110 100 14 120 128 70 115 15 123 135 60 120 16 120 105 80 125 17 72 60 140 120 In Table 5, as for the relative speed, the larger the value, the higher the sensitivity, and as to the desensitized range, the smaller the value, the smaller the sensitization degree is to make the photographic performance stable. And as for the sharpness, the larger the value, the higher the sharpness is to give an excellent image quality. From the results shown in Table 5 it is well understood that each light-sensitive material sample of the invention still has a high sensitivity even when subjected to a superhigh-speed processing, and its sensitivity is little deteriorated and still excellent in the image sharpness even when stored under high-moisture conditions. If the iodide content of the grain surface exceeds the limits specified in the invention, the sharpness and the desensitization degree under high moisture conditions are relatively satisfactory probably because the adsorption force of the spectral sensitizer gets strengthed, but the sensitivity is lowered, particularly significant when the processing time is shortened, while if the iodide content is small to the contrary, any of the characteristics evaluated in Example 2 becomes lowered probably because the adsorption force of the spectral-sensitizing dye is weakened. EXAMPLE 3 Preparation of Emulsion-3 To a solution of 6g of potassium bromide and 7g of gelatin dissolved in one liter of water kept at 55°C in a vessel were added 37 ml of an aqueous silver nitrate solution containing 4.0g of silver nitrate and 38 ml of aqueous potassium bromide solution containing 5.9g of potassium bromide in 37 seconds by a double-jet precipitation process. Next, after adding 18.6g of gelatin thereto, the reaction system was heated to a temperature of 70°C and to this were added 89 ml of an aqueous silver nitrate solution containing 9.8g of silver nitrate, spending 22 minutes. Hereupon, 7 ml of an aqueous 25% ammonia solution were added, and the emulsion was subjected to physical ripening for 10 minutes at the temperature remaining intact, and then to this were added 6.5 ml of 100% acetic acid, followed by adding an aqueous solution of 153g of silver nitrate and an aqueous potassium bromide solution with pAg kept at 8.5, spending 35 minutes, by the double-jet precipitation process. Then a potassium thiocyanate solution was added. After 5-minute physical ripening of the emulsion at the temperature remaining intanct, the emulsion was cooled to 35°C, whereby monodisperse tabular pure silver bromide grains having an average grain diameter of 1.10µm, an average grain thickness of 0.165µm, and diameters' variation coefficient of 18.5% were obtained. The average of the distances(a) between twin planes of the grains was 0.00µm, and the variation coefficient thereof was 25%. Samples No.18 to No.22 were prepared in the same manner as Example 2 except that the emulsions used in the Samples No.13 to No.17 of Example 2 were subjected to selenium sensitization (N,N-dimethylselenourea 0.4mg/mol Ag) and the following water-soluble dye was incorporated in the form of a solid particle dispersion into the subbing layer of the support. Further, Sample No.23 also was prepared for comparison in the same manner as in Sample No.20 except that its grain to be chemically sensitized was replaced by Emulsion-3. Sample No. Emulsion Iodide content(mol%) of grain surface after chemical ripening 18 EM-2 1.0 19 EM-2 4.0 20 EM-2 10.0 21 EM-2 15.0 22 EM-2 25.0 23 EM-3 4.0 In the evaluation items of these samples, the super-rapid/ultra-low-replenishment-rate processing characteristics of the samples stored under high-moisture conditions were added to the characteristics seen in Example 2 in order to ascertain the effect of the invention. The results are as shown in Table 7.
